How do L16's fare under heavy inverter loads?
I realize that I'm probably the only one with these batts here but maybe someone has some in an off-grid home and are familiar with how they run under heavy load? 6V seem to exhibit more voltage drop ...

Some 6-volt batteries have lower Peukert than some 12-volt batteries. Ballpark number that most articles refer to is 1.3 for deep cycle FLA. It can range from 1.1 to 1.5.
If they are 1.17, that is really quite good. The Peukert corrected amps for a 150 load with a 740 Ah bank is 190 amps. For a Peukert of 1.3 it is 228 amps. A 190 amp load for 25 minutes is 79 Ah (95 Ah for 1.3) or slightly over 10% of your capacity. At lower SOCs the effect is more pronounced. What you want to do seems feasible but sounds like an experiment is in order.
